To support faculty with new Canvas initiatives starting in Spring 2025 and into Fall 2025, Digital Learning is offering drop-in sessions and appointments during December and January, in addition to our regular Canvas and course design support.
Spring 2025
Starting in Spring 2025, all courses will include the following grading updates in Canvas:
- First Grade Entry: A grade must be entered in Canvas for each student within the first three weeks of the course start date (For 7 or 8-week courses, before the end of week 1).
- Second Grade Entry: An additional grade must be entered before the end of week seven (For 7 or 8-week courses, before the end of week 3)
Please note that these grade entries are separate from the Verification of Attendance assignment.
